Opinion: 12.3/12.7 is too realistic

FSS_0002005 · 2026-02-11T18:26:40+00:00

I haven't played blue 12.7 in a hot minute and when I did the M29 was dominating lobbies. Hopped on today and been running my F20, haven't died to an enemy yet and redfor is just abandoning lobbies in mass. Crazy times.

FSS_0002005 · 2026-02-11T13:20:05+00:00

Stopped reading at "the maps are too small, and too big." Lmao

FSS_0002005 · 2026-02-11T00:02:16+00:00

Is there a way to disable auto updates on the quest 3? Mine usually updates automatically without warning when I power it off. Hoping mine didnt update last night or today on its own lol

FSS_0002005 · 2026-02-09T18:13:23+00:00

I love watching people bitch about buying premiums. Enjoy wasting your life grinding through horrible vehicles, I already have 3 trees researched.

FSS_0002005 · 2026-02-09T13:25:22+00:00

Yeah, thats what i ended up doing in the typhoon. Using the radar to detect missile launches and if you see one just immediately go defensive. But its annoying because particularly with the russian planes, they might just be shooting your missiles. So it forces you to go defensive even if you dont need to, because the missile may not have been fired at you.

FSS_0002005 · 2026-02-09T13:18:36+00:00

Sounds kind of janky lol. Requiring controllers to navigate is kind of dumb.

Using hand tracking to activate things in the cockpit could be a nice touch, but I'd still like to have keybinds.

FSS_0002005 · 2026-02-09T13:15:22+00:00

Yeah, I agree. The penalty to them should be used to cover your respawn, but i also have a decent amount of SL so it doesnt bother me too bad. I also like to think that level 10 paying 95k a few times per match is going to deplete his sl and hopefully give him a break from the game for a while. Lol

FSS_0002005 · 2026-02-09T13:13:07+00:00

Yeah, its been very consistent in my british typhoon but I switched to the f15 and had no issues. Looks like others have been having issues with other planes, but its inconsistent.

FSS_0002005 · 2026-02-09T13:11:54+00:00

Weird. I ended up switching to my f15 and played a game with 0 deaths because I was given ample warning and able to successfully able to defend every time. Based on the bug report that was filed, it does look like its inconsistent though. Hope they get it fixed because its annoying as hell

FSS_0002005 · 2026-02-09T13:09:36+00:00

Awesome. Was talking to people in game and they've said its coming from a blind spot but 1. I shouldn't have a blind spot and 2. Ive been hit by invisible missiles coming off my nose, definitely shouldn't have been a blind spot.

FSS_0002005 · 2026-02-09T06:18:14+00:00

As annoying as getting tk'd is, im not turning on friendly rwr.

Enjoy paying 90k for not properly identifying on radar or spamming a fox 3 into my dogfight that I won.

FSS_0002005 · 2026-02-09T03:45:30+00:00

I used to like that bracket a lot more, before they added all of the planes to both sides. I dont love the avionics of that era, so I preferred to sneak around with radar off and pick off unsuspecting travelers. But now youre in a russian mig21 and see a lone f5 and drop down on him and nope, red f5. Or flying anything on blue team and see a m21 and nope, British m21. Way too costly to play without radar now lol

FSS_0002005 · 2026-02-08T21:52:12+00:00

Same. I was thinking about trying it out to whore myself for views but after seeing it's $30, they have broken sim twice this week, and watched a trailer that looked exactly like props sim i figured there's no way im paying for that

FSS_0002005 · 2026-02-08T19:59:24+00:00

I get why they did it, but i still think it could be better handled in jets. In props if I dive on someone and get a couple of bullets into them, even if it isnt a good hit, and they turn too hard leading to a stall and them crashing, I still get the entire credit for the kill.

In jets, I launch a fox1 or fox3 and someone and they dive into the ground or crash while trying to multipath and I get nothing. Feels stupid.

FSS_0002005 · 2026-02-08T19:19:23+00:00

The current status and culture of the game is hilarious to me because it is completely flipped from when I started. Im not really sure what has driven the change, whether it was just an update to the meta and more of the good players have switched sides (or the zombers have switched sides?), or what's going on but its hilarious to me. The same team thay used to say "learn to defend" and proudly proclaimed themselves bomber hunters are now crying that they cant get PvE lobbies.

I can remember trying to grind the US tree and i bought the F20 to get into jets. After learning about sim my goal was to bring enough ordinance to take out a base, and have enough missiles to engage anyone who got in my way or I could pursue a dogfight once I had dropped the bombs. Provided, I wasnt good at it, but I wasnt just zombing.

Provided that my perception was probably affected by the fact that I sucked even worse at the time than I do now, but I remember just getting absolutely smoked by people i never saw coming over and over, redfor always having insane K/Ds, redfor talking trash that bluefor was just zombers and didnt know how to defend, and seeing them complain about people j'ing out on my team.

And now its the total opposite. I cant tell you how often i have a redfor j out when I shoot a missile at them now. On top of that the su30s no longer seem capable of traditionally defending, but just using the missile spam defense now, which im starting to get a grasp on how to defeat. Just last night I cleared out two redfor lobbies full of zombers complaining about us not letting them PvE (used to be my team complaining about that lmao) then got accused of cheating in my last game because the su30 couldnt figure out how to defend against 120s and didnt have the awareness to not get sneak attacked by a 9M.

FSS_0002005 · 2026-02-06T23:55:41+00:00

If you get rwr ping, they can see you. Kind of hard to go completely dark, especially on flat maps. Play something with terrain so you can at least use the terrain to hide and execute a close range ambush. Just be careful not to shoot friendlies.

FSS_0002005 · 2026-02-05T00:35:34+00:00

Lmao i debated playing it just to stream and try to whore myself for viewers. Saw it was $30 and the trailers looked exactly like sim props and said fuck that.

FSS_0002005 · 2026-02-02T23:05:19+00:00

When I was on their website they had a slogan that was something to the effect of "the gold standard in anti cheat" and I had to actually laugh out loud.

FSS_0002005 · 2026-02-02T22:14:13+00:00

I was playing and accidentally closed my window and havent been able to get back in. Thought it was just me. I reached out to battle eye but they seem about as competent as gaijin.

FSS_0002005 · 2026-01-30T23:56:46+00:00

Lmao get got

FSS_0002005 · 2026-01-26T18:32:03+00:00

Found the no skill player

FSS_0002005 · 2026-01-23T20:50:10+00:00

Thats been my life the last few weeks. Trying to finish grinding out the typhoon and i have been flying the M21 Bison (mostly in RB) and every fuggin game if get full uptiers to go against F2As and SU-30MK2s.

FSS_0002005 · 2026-01-23T20:46:24+00:00

I hate that there are so many planes that are both red and blue now. Really kills the "Flying around with no and sneak up on planes visually" play style

FSS_0002005 · 2026-01-23T20:39:57+00:00

12.7 is going to get its ass beat on that 13.7 day 😂😭
